Bereaved Mother's Day Poem

While any physical gift ideas for Mother’s Day are no longer possible, it is believed that heartfelt Mother’s Day poems can reach her in heaven. 

• Divine Lord, if in your heavenly garden bloom

Radiant roses by jubilee shores' illuming ray,

Would you pick the fairest petaled array

And deliver to my mother who left earth's room?

For on this Mother's Day, her presence I cannot seek,

Angels having ushered her to celestial peak.

So if paradise roses in splendor unfurl,

Pluck a dozen to my dearly missed mother to unfurl.

Tell her I love and miss her nurturing grace,

Though joyful in knowing we'll reunite, embrace,

Admiring those blossoms in jubilee's endless day,

Together in gardens where roses forever hold sway.

• If heaven's sacred windows unveiled a view,

Amidst celestial beauty, I'd gaze for you.

To hear your laughter's melody once more,

See your radiant smile that my heart's core bore.

Though physically apart on this earthly plane,

Within my soul, your loving light remains.

I envision your peace in heaven's blissful abode,

Waiting for me at your kitchen's humble road.

This boundless love transcends all earthly words,

If I could, your thoughts from above would be heard.

Guiding memories of your blessings imbue

Each step I take - heavenly windows, I'd look for you.

A prayer did humbly convey -

Profound gratitude to the Divine,

For a lifetime of love so benign.

The outstretched embrace of a mother.

This gift to the world - a mother.

As youth's days rapidly took flight,

A steadfast hand to guide the light.

Sheltered in her heart's day and night,

Life's compass forever - a mother.

When our journey in this life concludes,

The Lord's messenger to kindly usher,

Welcoming us home with love profuse,

The eternal angel - our mother.

A mother's essence shines true.

Embodying all that's precious and pure,

Virtues that godliness imbues.

A spark of the Divine glows.

Unconditional love's blessed radiance,

From that hallowed space it flows.
